Get a breath of fresh air in the polders of Alkmaar

This route takes you through the landscape full of vast polders north of Alkmaar. Enjoy the conviviality of Alkmaar and then cycle into the tranquility of the surrounding area. The best of both worlds in one route. You start the route in Schagen at the Vreeburg Farm and Carriage Museum. Take a look at this 17th century city farm. Then you cycle to Dirkshorn, Tuitjenhorn and Alkmaar. Alkmaar is known for its cheese market and you will also find cozy streets, narrow courtyards, beautiful canals and a beautiful historic center. In principle you only cycle through the north of Alkmaar, but you can always deviate from the route to explore Alkmaar further. Then you cycle back via Waarland and Haringhuizen.
